Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"I wonder if Shinichi can handle Ran's proactive attack today~"

Chapter 117:116 You mentioned the tibia, right?

"Oh, you're here already."

Vodka put out the cigarette in his mouth and was about to throw it aside, but then he thought of something and froze. He took out a small plastic bag from his pocket and threw the extinguished cigarette into it.

"Are you alone? That's not what you said on the phone." A bald middle-aged man wearing a brown suit and glasses walked out slowly from the shadows and spoke in a flat tone.

"What does it matter? We just need to ensure that the transaction can proceed normally." Not paying attention to the bald man's tone, Vodka smiled and put his hands in his pockets.

"As long as you get what you want, don't you care about so many other things?"

"You make sense. So, did you bring what I want?" With a smile that was a bit disdainful and more indifferent, the bald man picked up the box in his hand, opened it casually, and presented the full amount of US dollars in it to Vodka.

"The money is here. According to the transaction requirements, 30% is in cash and the remaining 70% is paid in gold." The bald man casually closed the box and took out a folded piece of cardboard from the inside of his clothes.

“This is where the gold is.”

"That's right. I like straightforward people like you." Vodka took the box of money and the note from the bald man with a smile, folded it open and glanced at the address on it, then nodded.

"So, what about what I want?"

"Here." Vodka also put his hand inside his clothes, with a satisfied smile on his face, and chatted with the bald man in a good mood.

"Although I'm a little curious about where you got all this, we never seek the origins of the people we trade with. As long as you can pay the funds we need, we will be responsible for giving you what you need."

"This is also the reason why I chose to trade with you. It seems that you don't know much." Looking at the tall Vodka in front of him, the bald man was not nervous at all. Instead, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"I advise you not to be too curious. There are some things you shouldn't know."

"Don't worry, I just want to complete the task." Vodka touched the thing in his arms and took it out with a smile.

"Inside this envelope are the map and the key. Do you want to inspect the goods?"

"You are quite childish." Seeing the stuffed toy in Vodka's arms, the bald man took the envelope with a sneer and opened it impatiently.

"Yes, it's this one." The bald man pulled out the bronze key, stroked it carefully for a moment under the moonlight, and then put it back into the envelope.

"Don't you want to take a look at the map? Speaking of which, when was that map made? After we got it, we studied it out of curiosity, but we found nothing."

"Hmph, it's a wonder you could figure it out." Without answering Vodka's question, the bald man glanced at the map and put the envelope back into his pocket.

"It's a pleasure working with you. I hope there will be another opportunity for transaction next time." Vodka said with a smile, waving the box in his hand.

"If the next transaction partner is still you, I may have to think about it carefully." After glancing at the vodka, the bald man looked towards the house in the shadow on the other side.

"Bang!" Before Vodka could figure out why his trading partner said this, he heard a heavy knocking sound.

Subconsciously looking over there, Vodka was surprised to see a figure falling straight down from the wall.

"Ah, brother!" Looking up, Vodka saw Gin walking out with an iron pipe that he had gotten from somewhere in his hand.

"Being followed? Interesting." Gin glanced at Shinichi who was lying on the ground and threw the iron pipe aside.

"Leave now that the deal is done. You don't want to cause unnecessary trouble outside." Gin looked at the bald man with cold eyes, his tone without a trace of emotion.

"It seems that your organization still attaches great importance to this transaction. Did you send a sensible person after all?" The bald man smiled and narrowed his eyes. He did not leave immediately, but instead looked at Shinichi who was lying on the ground.

"What are you going to do with this little guy? He saw our transaction." Turning his eyes towards Gin with ill intention, a hint of madness flashed in the bald man's eyes.

"If you don't mind, I can help you solve it. As outsiders, it might be a little inconvenient for you."

"No need." If the original look was cold, then now the look in Gin's eyes when he looked at the bald man had turned into undisguised hostility and threat.

"We'll take care of it. Guys like you should just continue to be good kids."

"Brother, do you want me to do it?" Reaching into his arms and grasping the pistol, Vodka's eyes flashed and he took the initiative to speak.

"There are still some police patrols over there that haven't completely dispersed. The sound of the pistol is too loud." Shaking his head slightly, Gin organized the vodka and took out a medicine box from his arms.

"Let's use the latest medicine developed by the organization to kill him." Without any fluctuation in his eyes, Gin put the capsule into Shinichi's mouth, and then poured some water into it.

"Nice trick. You are no different from us. You are the same kind of people." He clapped his hands gently. He didn't know what made the bald man particularly satisfied with Gin, but the bald man did look at Gin with admiration.

"Stop dreaming, we can never be the same kind of people." Gin stood up straight and spoke in a cold tone.

"You should go."

"You're right, I should leave." Nodding and glancing at the moonlight above his head, the bald man smiled at Gin and Vodka.

"It's been a pleasure working with you. Goodbye."

Vodka watched the man leave silently, pursed his lips, and glanced at Kudo Shinichi on the ground.

"Brother, do you need me to take care of this?"

"No need, let's leave too." Gin shook his head slightly and spoke lightly after making sure that the bald man had left.

"Let's go."

"Yes, big brother." Vodka nodded obediently and followed Gin's pace. However, before completely leaving the grass, he couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Shinichi who was lying on the ground.

"Oh~" Vodka sighed and left without looking back.

. . .

"It's a smooth transaction. After so many years, finally, is there hope?" The bald man walked on the road to the amusement park with a relaxed pace, his heart full of excitement and joy.

"Those guys who are more likely to cause trouble than to help can't even control their most basic desires. They kill people and leave obvious traces, and take out tibias at will. Do they think they are playing?" Thinking of the pressure and dangers his faction faced some time ago, the bald man could not control his anger.

"Wait a minute, sir, you just mentioned the tibia, right?"

PS: I was busy all day today. . I will update three more times for now.

I will try my best to update tomorrow (wink)

Guaranteed four updates, strive for six!

A man's got his word! (Akira!)

Chapter 118: The First Question

After retrieving her car from Yukino's house, Shizuka Hiratsuka did not go home immediately. Instead, she drove to the amusement park she had visited before.

After buying the ticket again, Shizuka Hiratsuka ignored the other attractions and night performances and walked straight towards the tallest attraction in the entire amusement park, the Magic Ferris Wheel.

Xiaolan may not know that although her best friend Sonoko did not have time to come along, she had reported every detail of their planned itinerary to Shizuka Hiratsuka without error.

Although many of the itineraries were proposed by that noisy girl Sonoko, Sonoko told Shizuka Hiratsuka with confidence, and when she mentioned the Ferris wheel plan, Xiaolan did react differently.

Regarding this, Shizuka Hiratsuka still trusts Sonoko very much.

After all, they have known each other since childhood and are good friends who grew up together. Sonoko is very skilled in judging Xiaolan's behavior as she can't hide her thoughts.

And in this case, Shizuka Hiratsuka has even less reason to refuse.

She put Shuai Shuai on her shoulders. Since it was getting dark, Shizuka Hiratsuka was not too worried that Shuai Shuai would be discovered by the amusement park staff.

Letting Shuai Shuai gently rub her neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka once again checked the video recorder and spare batteries in her backpack. After confirming that everything was correct, she started walking again.

If Xiaolan really makes up her mind today, it will be a very important day.

He had spent a lot of money to buy this camera in his hand, and he also asked Dr. Agasa to modify the lens. Even at night, it can automatically capture clear scenes in the distance.

That’s right, Shizuka Hiratsuka plans to take some secret photos!

Of course, it can also be said to be a candid photo shoot. I am the elder of Shinichi and Xiaolan, so what's the problem with paying attention to the love affair of the two little guys?

You have to know that regarding the relationship between the two families, except for Kogoro Mori who is reluctant to part with his daughter, Eri Kissing and Yusaku Kudo both support Shinichi and Ran being together, not to mention Yukiko who has treated Ran as her own daughter for a long time.

"If I can shoot something good today, I must blackmail Sister Yukiko. And that arrogant boy Shinichi, I will definitely show this idea to him when he gets married." Thinking of the beautiful scene, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but laugh.

Don’t ask, it’s just bad taste!

Taking out her cell phone and looking at the time on it, Shizuka Hiratsuka quickened her pace.

There are only five minutes left before the Ferris wheel changes to night, so I have to rush over as soon as possible and find a suitable location to record the video.

When she parked the car just now, she secretly contacted Xiaolan and confirmed that they were both still in the amusement park. Shizuka Hiratsuka was very confident in her actions.

Her steps became lighter and Shizuka Hiratsuka walked towards the Ferris wheel excitedly, her eyes wandering around casually.

"I didn't know there were people wearing suits to the amusement park." When a fat figure came into her sight, Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned for a moment. The suit reminded her of the guy she met today who didn't look like a good guy.

"Still wearing a suit so late, this guy must be an amusement park employee, right? He's got a hard job, too. It seems Kogoro-kun, despite being middle-aged, has managed to stay in pretty good shape. And after all, Eri-san is so pretty. If he doesn't work harder, who knows how much she'll dislike him." Strolling aimlessly down the street, Shizuka Hiratsuka's thoughts drifted.

The man walking towards them also glanced at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was wearing casual clothes, but he just looked at her normally and didn't show any strange expression.

Just as the two of them continued forward with a gap of about two meters between them, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly stopped.

Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't hear the man's mumbling very clearly, but there were only two words that hit her eardrums directly, making her body tremble uncontrollably.

She turned around suddenly, stretched out her long legs, and leaped in front of the man in two steps. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were still serious.

"Wait a minute, sir, you just mentioned the tibia, right?"

"Hmm? Miss, what are you going to say?" The bald man looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka strangely and blinked in confusion, as if he didn't understand Shizuka Hiratsuka's question at all.

"Are you trying to play dumb?" The curve of her mouth became more and more obvious, and her slightly narrowed eyes stared at the bald man, and Shizuka Hiratsuka confirmed her judgment.

Although the man in front of him looked very bloated, after adjusting his condition, he could clearly sense a dangerous aura from him.

This shows that the middle-aged man in front of him with a big belly, who looks like an ordinary man struggling to make a living, is definitely not as simple as he seems.

"I heard the word 'tibia' very clearly from your mouth just now." With a slight shake of her shoulders, Shizuka Hiratsuka slid down her backpack and threw it into the grass beside her without caring about the valuable camera in the backpack.

"Although I don't hold out much hope, I'm still lucky. It's our fate that we meet here." Shizuka Hiratsuka took out a rubber band from her trouser pocket, tied her hair with her backhand, then twisted her neck and looked at the bald man in front of her with a smile.

"I have some questions I want to ask you. You should have no choice but to answer them." Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had prepared herself and determined her target, did not slack off. Having fought with the mysterious woman from Chiba, Shizuka Hiratsuka knew very well that if the man in front of her was also a combat member of that mysterious organization, then she would be facing a tough battle.

The way the people in that organization fight is very strange, and it seems that they have undergone physical modifications and can perform some actions that ordinary people cannot do.

If it weren't for the fact that his master had honed his combat experience, he would have suffered a loss at the hands of that woman in kimono.

"Miss, have you got the wrong person? I have never seen you before, and I didn't say anything strange just now. I was just complaining about some work problems." The bald man touched his head with a helpless and nervous expression, as if he was really misunderstood. He looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with grievance, and his behavior was no different from that of a middle-aged office worker whose edges had been smoothed out by life.

"Can you please let me leave? I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. I'm facing a promotion assessment recently. Miss looks like a decent person. Please don't make things difficult for me." The bald man said pitifully, looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka begging for mercy.

"The first question." Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the bald man with a serious look, without any hesitation. She believed in her own judgment.

"What on earth is the organization behind you?!"

Chapter 119: Sister Jing, I can’t kill you!

"Miss, I really..."

"The second question is, how do you think your strength compares to that mysterious woman in kimono in your organization?" Without giving the bald man time to talk nonsense, Shizuka Hiratsuka clenched her fists and spoke in a deep voice.

"Wear a kimono?" The bald man blinked and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka strangely, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

"To be honest, I had the good fortune to meet that woman once, and I have to say, her fighting skills were quite good. I just don't know how you feel."

"..." The bald man stood there without any movement, his eyes flickering slightly.

Looking at the bald man's strange behavior, Shizuka Hiratsuka was not anxious. She focused all her attention and entered a combat state. She was not worried at all that the bald man would suddenly attack.

Rather, Hiratsuka Shizuka was waiting for the bald man to suddenly attack.

The scene fell silent for a moment. There were no other tourists on this relatively remote road in the amusement park at this time. Apart from Shizuka Hiratsuka and the bald man who were confronting each other, the only sound was the breeze blowing the leaves.

Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was staring intently at the bald man in front of her, a faint black mist appeared in the air behind her.

There were no strange sounds. As the black fog disappeared, three pitch-black, fist-sized butterflies flapped their wings without making any sound, and quietly approached Shizuka Hiratsuka's head from behind.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The three black butterflies that had just aimed at the target had not yet pounced when a sharp black shadow flashed across their bodies like thunder.

The three black butterflies exploded and dissipated, leaving no residue except a little smoke and dust.

"Hmm?" Hearing a slight explosion behind her, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced behind her vigilantly. When she didn't find anything strange, she immediately turned her head back.

"What!" What surprised Shizuka Hiratsuka was that after the three slight explosions, the bald man who was pretending to be dead suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a surprised expression.
